Chapter 1750: Let’s Explore Somewhere Else?
Only when Lin Huang arrived at the source of the voice and saw the first monster did he find out why he was hearing “I’m so hungry” over and over again.
It was a headless monster with a big belly. Its round belly was over two meters in diameter, and there was a big mouth in the middle of the belly.
The back of the belly had tens of arms with many joints, and each arm was some ten meters long.
Compared to those arms, the legs that were supporting its upper body seemed extremely frail.
Lin Huang could tell that it was a Glutton the moment he set eyes upon the monster.
Gluttons came in all shapes and forms, but the only thing each of them had in common was their gigantic, round belly.
It was fine if they did not have a head, features, arms or legs, but their big belly was necessary. Some of them even came in the form of solely a big belly.
Someone joked that the Glutton’s original form had been a big belly.
This headless Glutton did not speak. It was the mouth on the belly that was muttering meaningless syllables. When it noticed Lin Huang, its big mouth began to drool.
However, Lin Huang heard, “I’m so hungry… Food… It smells good… I want to eat it…”
“Those are its thoughts?!” Lin Huang instantly noticed what was going on.
So what he heard were the Glutton’s thoughts.
The “I’m so hungry” he heard from different voices were the thoughts of many different Gluttons!
“Did I enter a Glutton’s lair? There are so many minor dao-level Gluttons here…”
After clearing his doubts, Lin Huang got the Destructive Divine Mammoth to fight it directly.
Judging from the strength of this Glutton’s aura, it had only mastered some 20,000 Dao seals. He did not bother to fight it himself.
The God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls’ God soul came from him, along with their Divine Power and Odyl. It would not be that easy for them to be contaminated.
Even if their physical bodies were contaminated with Abyssal energy and emotional energy, they could be cleansed with Eternity Fire instantly.
Seeing the Glutton rushing toward Lin Huang and itself, the Destructive Divine Mammoth stomped on it with its hooves without hesitation. It did not hold back at all, crushing the spherical belly until it exploded.
Black, contaminated, blood splashed out, emitting a disgusting smell.
Lin Huang dodged while holding the Ninetails Lynx. They were not contaminated at all.
Lin Huang flicked his fingers when he saw the Destructive Divine Mammoth’s body begin to be contaminated by the blood.
A white spark enveloped the Destructive Divine Mammoth’s entire body instantly.
Within a blink of an eye, the contaminated energy in its body was cleared out, along with the blood.
The spark that covered its body shrunk at lightning speed. It turned into a flame imprint on its forehead.
The Destructive Divine Mammoth immediately sensed that the contaminated energy that came from the surrounding fog, that had seeped into its body slowly, was being absorbed by the flame imprint on its forehead.
Noticing the changes on the Destructive Divine Mammoth’s side, Lin Huang pointed at the Ninetails Lynx forehead and left a flame imprint on its forehead too.
Naturally, the imprint was not permanent. It was the Eternity Fire’s temporary imprint that Lin Huang could remove as he wished.
With the flame imprint, the Ninetails Lynx could clearly sense that the discomfort it felt since entering the foggy area had vanished completely. It felt at ease now.
Of course, Lin Huang did not need the imprint; the Eternity Fire was in his body after all.
Not only that, even without the Eternity Fire’s cleansing effect, given his current level of ability, contamination of such level could not break through the defense of his body’s particles at all.
After leaving the flame imprints on his two God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls, Lin Huang put away the Glutton’s carcass and led the two deep into the fog.
…
“Do we go in?”
“This fog has strong contamination properties and it blocks Divine Telekinesis. Not only that, the fog comes and goes at random intervals. As soon as we go in, there’s a possibility that we can’t leave. If we’re lost in there for a long time and drained of our Odyl, we’ll turn into an Abyssal creature due to the contamination effect.”
Two young men in white robes, one tall and another short, were discussing things with hesitation outside the area that was covered in black fog.
“Do we go to the sea in the north instead?” The tall young man asked.
“That place is clearly more dangerous than dry land.” The short young man rolled his eyes at the tall man.
“But there are only a few Abyssal monsters outside the fog in this area. They only appear when the fog moves. We’ve only found seven throughout these two days, and other explorers killed four of them. We’ve only killed less than one on average daily throughout these two days.”
“You’re unwilling to enter the fog, nor do you want to go to the sea. So what do we do now? Do we head to another area…?” The tall man looked helpless. If not for the fact that they were friends for many years, and were somehow fated to meet despite the random teleportation, he would have already left him behind. “What if the other areas are more dangerous? Will you retreat, or will you head to other areas?”
“The exploration only lasts for a month, and we’ve already wasted two days. If we dawdle further, we’ll end up wasting ten days to half a month…”
“Aren’t I considering our safety?” The short man retorted mildly. He could tell that this friend of his was quite mad. He immediately added, “Of course, what you said makes sense as well.”
“We’re here to explore. This isn’t a vacation. Stop being so picky and make up your mind already,” the tall man said angrily, “Do we enter the fog or the sea?”
The short man frowned and fell into silence for a moment. He only made up his mind after seeing the tall man become quite impatient, and was about to urge him again.
“Into the fog!”
After spending hours coming to a common agreement, the two did not hesitate this time and entered the black fog area after covering their bodies in Odyl.
They were devoured by the black fog instantly…
…
Time flew by, two days had passed.
In the area covered in black fog, the tall and short white-robed young men sat by a cliff.
“It’s been two days, and we haven’t even found a monster. It’s not that our probing techniques aren’t working. We even found some explorers from other organizations. It’s impossible for all of the monsters here to have been killed by explorers from other organizations, right?” The short young man wore a puzzled expression on his face.
“Something’s strange about this area…” The tall young man frowned lightly. “We can’t use Divine Telekinesis in this foggy area at all, and the black fog limits many probing techniques. Theoretically, there shouldn’t be anyone who can find the coordinates of all of the monsters in this foggy area. However, it’s also impossible for the monsters in this foggy area to disappear out of nowhere…”
“How about… we retreat? Let’s explore somewhere else?” The short man had cold feet again.
The tall man glared at him as soon as he said that.
“I was just kidding.” The short man waved while smiling after noticing his unfriendly glare.
“Let’s check more carefully. If it was done by humans, it’s impossible that there aren’t any traces left behind at all.” The tall man thought about it for a moment and decided to stay to find out the truth..
